I really like the looks of the MSI (Doing a blue/black build), really slick. However the ASRock seems to be better quality.

I would really appreciate having AC WiFi on it--Any recommended boards for that? Like I said, blue/black or mostly black would be best, but if there's something out there that's just much better and isn't those colors, that's fine too :D Preferably below $150.

This ASRock one is a little bit cheaper but has everything you seem to need, regarding the wifi, you could get dongles for around $20. And you said ATX, but this ASRock one is mini-ATX and has built in wifi, but there isn't much room for upgrading. If you want to go open-box, then this Asus board is ATX, with built in wifi and plenty of room for upgrading.

I hadn't seen that mini-ATX board before--I like it and might go with it. I probably won't be doing SLI anytime soon, and I did want built-in WiFi so I don't take up a port. That being said, I do like the M.2 slot on the Extreme6 but maybe I could just hook up a small SSD via SATA...

Sounds good, the M.2 port is definitely something worth considering if you have/plan to get an M.2 drive, because of the speed gains. The Extreme6 board is certainly a nice board, I just brought up a few recommendations to save some money. Good luck with your build!

Your build looks pretty good to me, I assume you are planning to overclock because you got the 4690K and a pretty beefy cooler. I would recommend getting a dual channel memory kit (2x 4GB) instead of a single stick, unless you plan to double it in the future. Also, I think you should go with at least a 600W power supply, 620-650 if you can manage.
